Book Description
Winner of the 2007 Gray's Lake FCBC Book Award For centuries, eyewitnesses around the world—from America to Africa, Argentina to Scotland—have reported sightings of dark, mysterious creatures in area lakes that surface briefly, only to quickly disappear. While the most famous lake monsters of Loch Ness and Lake Champlain have gained international notoriety, hundreds of lakes around the world are said to shelter these shadowy creatures. Lake Monster Mysteries is the first book to examine these widespread mysteries from a scientific perspective. By using exhaustive research and results from firsthand investigations to help separate truth from myth, the authors foster our understanding of what really lurks in the cold, murky depths. Benjamin Radford and Joe Nickell are considered to be among the top lake monster authorities in the world. Here they share unique insights into many of the world's best-known lake monsters. They interview witnesses and local experts and discuss the different types of lake monster sightings, delve into possible explanations for those sightings, and examine hoaxes, evidence claims, and legends surrounding the monsters. The authors have also conducted groundbreaking fieldwork and experiments at the lakes and have examined recent photographic and sonar evidence. Incorporating newly-revealed information and up-to-date developments in the cases they present, professional monster hunters Radford and Nickell plunge into both the cultural histories of these creatures and the scientific inquiries that may hold the key to these mysteries.

The Mystery of the Iatt Lake Monster—Revealed!

Book Description
*Revised Copy-In the least populated and most rural parish in Louisiana, the author chose to retreat from the world. After experiencing deaths of two close family members and then experiencing flood, David decided to get away and experience nature to heal. That is when he discovered a tribe of Bigfoots. After having a violent initial encounter with them, David gained their respect and friendship. He communicated and interacted with them every day. The author took pictures of them and read the Bible to them daily as they had made camp on his land across the road from his house. David also took us deep into the woods to an area that had three crooked creeks that wind creating oxbows, swamps, islands, and marshes. Dammed by beavers, the three creeks merged into one and became a major tributary of Iatt Lake, which is surrounded by the Kisatchie National Forest, hence the title The Mystery of the Iatt Lake Monster—Revealed! The author included many photographs showing what looks to be upright-walking creatures in varying scenes—but mostly around water with beautiful swamp scenes, showing cypress trees with spanish moss and clean, clear water. The author took us on his path through discovery, making friends, the discussion of the pictures, and what the author sees in them and left the door open for the future as he has been having this experience every day.
